Wonderful aesthetic specimen of deep amber-colored gemmy, lustrous barite crystals perched on contrasting golden calcite from the now famous finds at Elk Creek, South Dakota. A great barite specimen from this classic “Top 50” American mineral locality. One small chip on the prominent crystal termination, but otherwise in very nice condition.
